Topic of your message: Budget (They didn't have Humanitarian Issues as an option. Also no topic titled The Idiot President)

Your message: Dear Congressman Istook, This is in regards to the administrations budget for the upcoming inauguration. As the the Washington Post reports "The inauguration is expected to be one of the most expensive in history. Inaugural organizers initially estimated that the cost for three days of events would reach $50 million. Last week, the committee said it would spend $30 million to $40 million, all of it paid for by private donations." That is 3 times the amount of aid that President Bush initially offered to the devastated Indian Ocean Nations and still more than his latest offer. In light of world events, don't you think it would be wonderful if President Bush gave the money that has been donated for a party, to the Tsunami victims? I believe it would be the right thing to do. Please won't you suggest a proposal to your fellow Representatives? Sincerely, Donna Salinas

Does this message require a response from Congressman Istook?: yes
I'll let you know if it gets one.
